Kick-ass deal.

I want more from my iPads (which is why I was willing to pay for the 12.9"), but this thing is (OK, can be) all the computer non-techies (like my wife) need.

Perfect integration with iPhone, iPods, and AirPods. The Triumvirate.

Better grab it now while you can since this year's revision might be removing the headphone jack.

Yes I bought this one last year and now that I think of it is not worth it, I kinda expected too much.
At that time I was sure that I would use it for illustrations, ah yes this is also my first iPad so I didn’t have any experiences, and that I would download procreate for usage; and it is lagging now, yes, apple needs to increase the amount of RAM, but that issue aside, which I wrote about two thousands of words and definitely could write more, yes, people who are reading this comment better choose the M1 iPad air if you want at lease some work flow, this is an advice.
Yes and the apple ecosystem is not a joke, android users keep that in mind, you just couldn’t hate a thing that worked too well and too convenient

This would be useful for someone who wanted to carry a reasonably large media library around with them on a not too slow device at a not too steep cost.
